JAMB considers candidates to use mobile phones for UTME, DE
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced its intention to introduce a “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) initiative for the Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examinations (UTME) and the Direct Entry Examinations.
This initiative means that candidates will be required to bring their own electronic devices, such as mobile phones, to the examination centers for the purpose of taking the exams. The move towards a BYOD system is aimed at leveraging technology to enhance the examination process, provide a more seamless experience for candidates, and reduce the administrative burden associated with traditional paper-based exams.
However, it is important to note that the specific details and implementation plan for the BYOD initiative are yet to be fully disclosed by JAMB. Candidates and stakeholders are advised to stay updated with official announcements from JAMB regarding this new development.
